The property extends to a total of about 2,613 sq. ft, and offers generous and flexible accommodation as set out in the accompanying plans.

There is a large garage to the north of the dwelling, that is connected to Milltown Lodge via a covered yard area in which there are also 2 stores.

Former Farm Buildings
Located immediately adjacent to Milltown Lodge is a detached one, two and three storey multi bay red brick farm building constructed c.1857 as the farm buildings to Milltown House (formerly Milton Lodge). The gradient slopes up towards the Ballougry road, whereby the building then changes from two/three storey to single storey in height, with a raised courtyard and an enclosed sunken yard to the west. A laneway off the Ballougry Road runs to the rear of the farm buildings and provides direct access to the Foyle Valley Cycle Route and to the river.

The L-shaped complex is listed B1 and is characterised by segmental and round-arched openings formed in gauged brick with terracotta half-pipes arranged in a honeycomb pattern to form ventilation panels.

Whilst the farm buildings have not been used for agricultural purposes in many years, there is a floored workshop to the north elevation that can be accessed directly from the garden of Milltown Lodge, along with a commercial shed currently utilised as a car sales showroom, however vacant possession will be granted upon or prior to completion of sale.

Milltown farm buildings also benefit from previous planning permission and listed building consent for a change of use from an existing redundant agricultural building into 11 housing units and ancillary works under planning reference A/2003/0502/LB. Planning documents can be made available upon request.
